What a week this was, bowlers, what a successful week this really was, Yes, indeed! (With sincere apologies to the lyricist who wrote 'The night Chicago died') We had good attendance from club members and visitors alike for all sponsored events.
The week began most successfully with a good turnout for the postponed monthly competition sponsored by The Lawnmower Shop, Giovision and Greendale Spar. The winning team which took home the chickens was Rita Aitken, Dudley Ventress and Mabel Tully. The Lucky Draw was won by John Withers.
On Friday, 23 October the event sponsored by Carrick Wealth was a resounding success. An enjoyable, fun format of three varied sessions tested the skills of the players. This format allowed for individual scores to count. The best individual scores by a lady and a man won Chantal D'Hotman and Ray Bester the top prizes plus a branded shirt each from Carrick Wealth. Second and Third prize winners were Tim Waring and John Withers. There were seven more lucky winners with the sportsman's prize going to Jason Mitchell of Carrick Wealth. It was a pleasure to have the younger members of the Carrick Wealth team join us on the green.
In the fourth round of the NIBA Men's League, the Umgeni Waterfall Second League Team played against Maritzburg West and beat them with a score of 10.5 to 2.5 keeping them at the top of their league. The Third League Team lost to Maritzburg by 1-12.
